GIVING LOCAL COMMUNITIES A GLOBAL VOICE

Filming communities leading their local development priorities

ENABLING THE QUIETEST VOICES TO BE HEARD

Story-collectors capturing hundreds of experiences and perceptions

Community members have many experiences to share, but often they feel like they have no voice. Programs are sometimes implemented without communities being sufficiently listened to. In this film we show how people can be more strongly involved in defining their own development.

WHAT IS IT LIKE TO LIVE HERE?

An in-depth description of community life

Our aim with this film was to showcase an innovative tool that produces an in-depth description of the community life. Quotes and animations are used to explain how this tool enables policy makers and development actors to be more responsive and accountable to the community needs.

WORDS FROM THE PEOPLE WE COLLABORATED WITH

In their products, Visual Development strives to not only capture what development is, but also how it works. Visual Development continuously look for new visual concepts to tell stories, show linkages and explain results. The combination of David and Jessica's analytical and creative thinking, leads to video's that are both catchy and powerful.
